I think it happens with every mustang because in my 2004 mustang gt, it did this too and now in my 20122004 mustang gt, its done it about 2 times. Not a big problem though
I also have the same problem. It happens quite a bit. My problem with this, it will take out the starter, battery and or alt. after the warranty is up.
I have thought about warranty but, They will not dupilcate the same problem. I wonder is their a fix for this?
I have a similar problem. I have read all the posts about this problem and have even taken it in to the dealer who said he couldn't duplicate it. Maybe 3 times a month, I start my 2011 GT and do it exactly what it says in the Owners book. The key is turned to the start possition and released. Sometimes it sounds awful and like the starter is still spinning on the flywheel and the motor has started. Makes everyone near the car turn and look. It almost sounds like if you started an older car and didn't release the key, just spinning on the flywheel. It can't be right. I still have 2 years on the warrantee and will just wait till something breaks. 2 times back to the dealer and no sulution. Any Ideas?

Hi, If I may I would like to ad that when this starting problem happens, the car starts but it sounds like the bendix is stuck in the flywheel and grinding till I turn the key to off. Anybody watching me stops to see what the heck I did. Just thought you'd like to know. Gary Parker milkrun49
I'm glad I found this thread. I'm having the same issue. Two or three times a month, my 2011 GT/CS doesn't fire up straight away. It's always on the third turn of the key that it starts. I've had this happen on both cold and warm starts.
Hello all, joining this forum and this discussion as I too am being troubled by this random yet phantom starting problem.
